This post and your other one on "can you live on $1000 a month" sounds like you've hit on hard times. Occasionally my wife makes me drink Select or RC when we're low on money. I'm a big time Pepsi drinker (that's my coffee) I still work part time at Freddys in N. Portland to pay for the finer things in life (Heineken, Xbox games) and the kids private schooling. If you want to get a deal on home electronics, wait until their out of stock on something you like and buy the display model for 10% off. If they don't volunteer the 10% off, then demand it.
I've also noticed that Portland Cops look like they are taking steroids or something. There are some unusually meaty, thick necked, weird looking officers out their with bad attitudes.

OMG. #10. That's just plain funny. You know, living in Florida where all the snow birds congregate for half of the year, I've never heard of that happening. Maybe it has, but I've just not heard of it.

A discovery I wish my wife would make. When I buy my dvd's at Suncoast, where I pre-order my movies, is that the price tag on the movie isn't what they sell it for when it first comes out. Usually I can get the dvd for $5-$10 cheaper than what it says on the tag (unless it's a box set). But my wife will look at the tag, and think that's what I paid for it. My wife should know by now. I'm cheap, and if I can get a dvd for the cheapest price, I'll buy it for the cheapest price.

Various commercials:

'It's new and improved!' - If it's a new formula, then it isn't an improvement on the old one, it's an improvement on the results of the old one - an entirely different thing. If it's improved, it's not new.

'Our new, old-fashioned, tried and true method!' - Do I really have to explain?

'You're worth it!' - Implying that if you don't buy the product, you must not have a very high opinion of yourself. Correction: I have too high an opinion of myself to fall for your crappy commercial.
